River tours in Laos

Pandaw's 10-night Laos Mekong offers probably the most exciting river expedition anywhere with its fast waters cutting through rocky gorges, towering mountains and rich forests. There is so much human interest as well with stops in tribal villages to a couple of days amongst the Buddhist shrines of Luang Prabang.

Why not a three-country expedition?

As you traverse Laos to touch Thailand and Burma, you are right in the once notorious Golden Triangle. From Vientiane, the old French capital, L’Indochine Pandaw will be the first river expedition since pre-war days to cross all Laos.

Youi can stop two nights at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang with its dazzling wood-carved monasteries and then on deep into the mountains, through rapids and gorges on the high-powered little Pandaw, visiting tribal villages and exploring into jungle and countryside.

The RV Sabaidee became Pandaw's seventeenth ship in the Pandaw flotilla, constructed to meet demand on the very popular Laos to China route across Yunnan.

In true Pandaw style this double decked vessel is designed to meet the navigational challenges of shooting rapids in the Laos gorges and sailing through shallow waters all the way to China.

With just fourteen classic Pandaw staterooms, an open plan saloon with flexible indoor or outdoor dining, the vessel is handcrafted in teak and brass and has all the comforts you could expect. There are even quality mountain bikes available for your independent exploration!
